Creativity and change is critical for an evolving NHS and it’s doable.

How true!

[Ruth Ball @ruthball121]

I love the way we are describing people leadership as a complex and often difficult skill and not a simple, easy to achieve approach that we so often are led to believe. This is serious stuff and the sooner we get this message, the better. Ruth

[Ruth Ball @ruthball121]

Taking the time to recognise positive contribution wherever it comes from...

[Ruth Ball @ruthball121]

This is particularly difficult at the NHS where caution quite rightly is the name of the game. However there are many areas where mavericks are needed to kick-start new thinking and this is especially true in the corporate areas.

[Ruth Ball @ruthball121]

We need a new paradigm that encompasses what you are describing alongside an approach where we are ok with our people taking more self control, more self centred even at the same time as retaining authentic care for patients.

[Ruth Ball @ruthball121]

That's spot on Michael but an even more difficult ask in times of short termism, constant change and uncertainty for our people.

[Michael West @WestM61]

To meet the challenges we now face, we have to develop belonging and trust and organizational cultures of compassion. We must come to see humanity as more collaborative, compassionate and caring to shape our future and the future of our planet.

[Ruth Ball @ruthball121]

Important findings in a research paper that spells out how critical it is to have leaders who are congruent and consistent.

[Ruth Ball @ruthball121]

Spot on. We need to work effectively with both, critical we keep reviewing emerging leadership or we will not move forward at the pace we need to in the NHS.

[Gill Rooke @gillrooke]

Excited to be at the launch of the new NHS Development Exchange. It’ll change the way we choose development!! Well done to everyone involved! @NHSLeadership @NHS_WMLA @cehwitham @clarepricedowd @andrewkfoster @c_chipperfield #ournhspeople

[Ruth Ball @ruthball121]

Interesting point.

[Ruth Ball @ruthball121]

How true.

[Ruth Ball @ruthball121]

Simple yet too rarely seen in action. We should be much better at this. Ruth

[Ruth Ball @ruthball121]

This is critical. Blame culture is finely honed, learning from it is in its infancy. Understsnding context even less developed and understood.

[Ruth Ball @ruthball121]

How true, we just need to free up
relationship s to enable it to happen.

@helenbevan @PaulBromford @whatsthepont I like the Trojan Mice concept. The approach is similar in principle to the PDSA (rapid-cycle improvement) model promoted by the IHI.
